In re J.S.
The District Attorney of Los Angeles County filed a petition alleging that defendant and appellant J.S. (J.) came within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 because he committed misdemeanor vandalism (Pen. Code, 594, subd. (a)) and misdemeanor resisting arrest (Pen. Code, 148, subd. (a)(1)). The juvenile court found the allegations to be true and placed J. on probation under Welfare and Institutions Code section 725, subdivision (a) under various terms and conditions. J. was permitted to remain in his parents home. The juvenile court set a maximum period of physical confinement at one year, four months. On appeal, J. contends that the juvenile court erred in setting a maximum period of physical confinement because he was placed at home on probation and not ordered confined in the California Youth Authority. Court agree and order the one year, four month maximum period of physical confinement stricken from the order placing J. on probation. Court otherwise affirm the order of probation.
